Igbo people are great people! Imagine after the civil war, igbos had almost nothing, but today, they are shining......The igbos survive in various places. They build houses in their place and other people's place. They are risk takers....They are hardworking. They have fine girls. They have well to do men. They have healthy children. They have fair people.

Yorubas too are a very great tribe. They have educated people & well known people too.

Other tribes too are good.

God bless Nigeria.
